Another Pittsburgh Steeler shared his grief over the passing of Dwayne Haskins on Saturday. This time it was recently retired quarterback Big Ben Roethlisberger.
The QB posted posted a message to his Twitter account Saturday night, written by he and his wife, Ashley.
“I only had the privilege to know D-Hask for a short time,” Roethlisberger began. But in that time I got to meet a young man that didn’t seem to ever have a bad day. He came to work everyday with a smile on his face and energy and love in his heart.”

The Roethlisbergers also shared a brief message to Haskins’ widow, Kalabrya.
“We want to you to know we are praying for you and with you. … You are an amazing woman of faith and we trust you will get through this. Love, Ben and Ashley.”
